Bitter about being born

[No_more]

Does anyone else feel bitter about being born? I feel angry that my parents gave me the 'gift of life'. It's selfish and cruel. There was no thought behind it. They just bred.

They knew the world had evil people on it and that all kinds of horrible things happen, but still they bred. I'm angry that I was born. There's no easy way out. I wasn't bothering my parents. I didn't exist. Why did they inflict life on me?

Yeah. Sometimes i wish i was not introduced to this world. I just want to die

there's a philosophical concept for something like this—the asymmetry of pain and pleasure. david benatar argues that because pain is a much "stronger" feeling than pleasure, it's immoral to give birth to a sentient being at all

Being born and allowed to become an adult with no skills or support was very cruel of my community. They had me to get attention and nothing more, bastards.

I totally agree. I've told my mother multiple times that she should have thought about every scenario before deciding she didn't want an abortion. I straight up asked her if it ever occurred to her that I would have all of her problems and more. She admitted she never thought about it. So I told her that she had no business procreating and should have had an abortion after all.

She had no right to drag me into this. I absolutely agree that it's completely immoral to have children. To force the burden of self aware existence on an innocent child? Absolutely unconscionable. The worst sin anyone could possibly commit.

I've been thinking about this soo much recently. It's so fucked up that we can't consent to being born. Why is life like this? Who thought this was a good idea?

 

[Mistake of Nature]

I can relate. To be forced into existence without my consent is infuriating. So much suffering -- an entire lifetime of it -- could have been prevented had I simply not been born.

Creating another human is such an ugly and tragic thing to do. I think the only good thing about my life is that I will not have children. "May my entire flesh perish and may I transmit to no one the aggravations and the disgrace of existence." - Gustave Flaubert

Selfish and cruel. No thoughts, just breeding.
My point of view too, I am angry I was born. It is a vicious cycle of evolution and you were unlucky.

Yes, this is infuriating. But this is a simulation we live in and they sometimes give unexpected or random results. Sadly your birth is one of them. You are not alone.

definitely, specilly knowing i was a mistake and my mother actually was thinking of aborting me. she always saw me as a burden and a reminder of a less pleasant time in her life. i will never have kids for fear they will turn out like me and end up killing themselves too.

100% agree. I'm so glad there are others who agree with this. After 2 decades of pain and bullshit, I'm 32 now and I am looking back on my childhood. I can remember key things from when I was a young kid, I *never* wanted to be here. Don't you just hate it when people say things like "you just have to do it, suck it up and do it, no one is going to do it for you or hold your hand, stop being lazy and entitled, you're nothing special, you don't deserve special treatment"
Well for fuck sakes, I didn't ask to be here in the first fucking place!

The fact that I'm an unplanned pregnancy really makes me bitter about existing in this fucked up life.

I realised this today. That humanity has a self-correcting mechanism about who should be born.
People are not born based on intelligence or character, but based on looks mostly.
Those undesirable will be left behind and die in few generations.
Destiny has played a cruel joke on us.
We were given the gift of life only to not be able to enjoy it to the full potebtial as other people do it.
It is not fair, and we have nobody to blame, not even ourselves. Because there is a lottery of looks ans genes. Is like a cruel lotto game.
Everything they have was given to them by default.
